WordPress: How to upload custom fonts

Even though our WordPress themes include almost 1,000 free Google Fonts, there might be occasions where you'd like to use a custom font from another source. If you'd like to install a custom font in your pipdig theme, follow the steps below.

1. Create a WOFF file

In order to use a font on a website, you will need to install a webfont file known as WOFF. If you have purchased the new font as a webfont, this will already include the WOFF file which you need. If you have downloaded a font in OTF or TTF file format, you will first need to convert this to a WOFF. You can use free websites such as transfonter.org to create the WOFF file which you need.

When you have the WOFF file, save it to your desktop.

Please note that you should have legal permission to use any custom fonts under their respective licenses.

2. Install the "pipdig Custom Fonts" plugin

The next step is to install the pipdig Custom Fonts plugin on your site. Follow the steps below to do this:

2.1 Download the plugin by right-clicking this link (or cmd-clicking on Mac). Then select “Save linked file as…”. Please note that the wording may be slightly different depending on which web browser you are using. Save the file to your desktop.

Now that the file has been downloaded to your computer, we can now upload this to your WordPress site.
